My six year old niece, Lil L, went to see Santa last week. She spent so much time telling him what a good girl she's been that she ran out of time to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Thank goodness for the list!

Getting our Christmas tree up and decorated is turning into a multi-day project. Last night we brought it home. Tonight we got it lit. Hopefully, soon, we'll have the decorations up. It's such a busy time of year. Stay tuned...

Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement [1] (English: the art of moving) is a non- competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails.

...there, I said it. That's all mine. My place + The Red House = one 17' truck bursting at the seams. Keep in mind that I've been moving stuff over to Shutterillaville ALL week. One thing is for sure...a yard sale is in our near future.

This stop-motion animated film takes viewers on an exhilarating existential journey into the fully imagined, tactile world of Madame Tutli-Putli. As she travels alone on the night train, weighed down with her all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past, she faces both the kindness and menace of strangers. Finding herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure, adrift between real and imagined worlds. she confronts her demons.

Posts have been light. Thanks for hanging in there. Condensing 2.5 households into one is no joke. I'm getting by right now on the sheer fact that we'll have our first Christmas Tree together up SOON! Stay tuned....
